The election is in November 2024. In the months before, the candidates of the respective parties are selected through the primary elections. Pence are hardly calculated chances here. For the Republicans, everything boils down to a duel between Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Pence had recently increasingly distanced himself from his former boss Trump and also criticized his actions against the result of the 2020 presidential election. Trump reacted indignantly as usual. His reaction to the candidacy of his former deputy is still pending. Pence has not yet made a public statement either.
